All--Does anyone currently use the Ez Up Stirrup Extender? It is supposed to give your mounting leg and additional 3 inches to make it easier to get on the horse.
I tried a Giddy Up and Go mounting stool, that is another story , so before I invest $77 (love EBAY!!!) I wanted a recommendation.
Thanks!

I don't know, that seems a little weird to me.
Mind you I don't ride western but with anything I'm riding on or equipment I am using, Simple is best.
I would be worried about the latchy thing coming undone when you are riding.
But Ive never seen them up close or anyone use them, so they could be good.
If three inches makes or breaks you getting on your horse than maybe you should try them.

I agree with Rebecca and 2manyfurbabies. As much as I would love having an extender for my stirrups (short people=shorter stirrups=big struggle), I would think that it would be more of a hassle. Having to swing over to the other side of the saddle might be sort of tuff with the one stirrup being 3 inches longer than normal!
If you want to give it a try, go ahead, but I don't think I would spend too much money on it.

You see, this is why I prefer horses in the 14 hand range

State-line also has a device that hooks on to the saddle horn and ends a second stirrup below the mounting stirrup. You use that to get on and then take the mounting aid away. I can't find it online but it is in their catalog for $18.00.

I've never use this product, but I have used a similar device that had 3 rungs that hung below the stirrup....but I was trying to mount a 20+hh shire stallion. Once you are up, you reel in the leather and take the sturrup ladder out. Usually you would then put it in a saddle bag or something.
